Bed bolts are a great way to fasten beds. Secure under the most difficult conditions, they have the advantage of being able to be tightened.
This bed took 60+ hours to build, mostly in the wee night hours. Mark has a day job and 5 children, so his time is filled. The finish is a natural, oil rubbed varnish and the wood is solid cherry. So will there be 4 more eventually?
